Apologies guys, I'm gonna hold fire for now. Only very very sketchy rumours at the moment, really would not be worth posting. If things get any more solid I will post for sure.

Surely that disclaimer is enough for no mud to stick, should this sketchy rumour not eventuate

I suspect some rumours should not be publicised until after the Finals are concluded..?

Compensation-wise, I think a combination of Weid & next year’s 1st rounder in a multi-team trade for Cerra could come close to it.

Cap-wise, Jones would be on a solid wage, and T-Mac is coming out of contract and will not being re-signed on the same outrageous salary. It could be done.

The biggest trouble for me is figuring out where we’d play him? Can’t have too much class though. Might send someone like Harmes out of the 22.

Just for the record, TMac is contracted until 2022 and I had an inkling his salary was pretty high next year..  That doesn't change the essence of your post as the club will find a way to do the deal if that is what they decide.

There is no way that Harmes will be pushed out of that team - he's too good a player

Oops. Not sure why I thought T-Mac was out of contract. Maybe because Weid is.

Anyway, Hibberd & Melksham should be coming out of contract soonish I’d think, and would be due for pay cuts.

Quite right.  Hibberd OOC this year and Melksham OOC next year.

This doesn't really relate to Cerra but Jackson and Rivers can now tick off playing a winning "home" final in Perth in front of 60,000 fans.

Another reason for them to stay.

Carlton will have to wait for several more weeks to secure Adam Cerra’s commitment as potential bidder Melbourne makes its premiership charge.

Cerra is in no hurry to make a decision on his future even as he is expected to nominate Carlton after the Grand Final, with the Blues well placed to get him home to Victoria.

The Blues will remain nervous about Melbourne’s intent to pull off a trade heist for Cerra given their wide open premiership window and his close friendship with Demons wingman Ed Langdon.

There is no rush for Cerra to make an official decision. The Blues, with the No.6 draft pick, have the capacity and determination to trade that selection to the Dockers for Cerra.

The trade period starts on October 4, nine days after the September 25 Grand Final.

Carlton also does not have a coach or chief executive, which adds to the uncertainty about the club’s future.

The Demons have no plans to trade Luke Jackson and the Herald Sun understands the contracted key tall is happy to remain at the club that has him under contract until 2022.

So, without a first-round pick, it would seem impossible for the Demons to get a deal done on Cerra.

The Demons would have significant appeal to Cerra if he could get there, but his No.1 priority is remaining to be closer to family and friends and he knows he needs to request a move to a club that can broker that deal.

Adam Cerra has to choose between Carlton and Melbourne.

Cerra remains in Perth and will attend the Dockers’ best-and-fairest as he enjoys his holidays in West Australia.

Jon Ralph spreading chook food for poor Blues fans... 

If there's no decision for the next 2 weeks, then we're likely on.

Oh, and why would you join a shambles club without a coach?

Probably have accepted that he goes to Carlton.

We simply have no draft capital for Freo.

agree. he keeps writing articles about Cerra with no insights whatsoever. we all know that MFC don't *currently* have anything or worth pick-wise, but that doesn't mean that we can't get it. [censored].

Does Ralph provide anything? 

The amount of nothing articles that circulate the news outlets are soooooo tiresome. 

He provided absolutely nothing new in the above. And he has no idea whether or not we can facilitate a trade. Why would he use the word impossible? 

How many times do we see a player nominate a club of choice, only to be denied? Rarely if ever. 

If we've met with him, the longer he waits to nominate, surely the likelihood of him wanting to come to us goes up given we're still playing.. No? 

Ralph is such a facepalm.

No coach or chief  exucutive.....Who at Carlton has actually expressed strong interest in him? The reporting on this subject seems wishful thinking from Carlton affiliated media. Nobody in their right mind would currently choose Carlton over Melbourne.  Will come down to more than money and draft picks....I would say Cerra will select us and then we will get to work to arrange the swaps required.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
